The hottest things to do in Singapore this November

We get it, Singapore's hot. But when it comes to the city's hottest happenings, we're pretty cool

When you're living along the equator, you can't escape the hot, hot, heat all year round. But Singaporeans are a resilient bunch – we're always up for a jaunt around town, even if it means dealing with a sweaty back. It helps that there's always so much going on in this literally (and figuratively) hot city. From braving the outdoors on a trek to squeezing in a HIIT class at lunch, here's how to keep things sizzlin'.

Savour the hottest burgers in town at McDonald's

Savour the hottest burgers in town at McDonald's

An icon in its own right, the McSpicy is the go-to local favourite when you need your spice fix, pronto. Thick and juicy chicken thigh is marinated in a fiery blend of chillis to create a mouth-watering – and eye-watering – burger that's loved by all.

For a limited period only from November 1, McDonald’s is bringing us on a different spice adventure with the new Red Hot Spicy Peppers Burger. The new creation is a fresh take on the iconic McSpicy and comes topped with jalapeno relish, spicy tomato mayo and sliced red capsicum to make your tongue tingle. We expect these babies to sell like hotcakes so act quick as the Red Hot Spicy Peppers Burger is only available for a limited time only. Try your luck by walking into a McDonald's restaurant or make the magic happen via mcdelivery.com.sg.

Bust a move at It's The Ship

Music festivals are crowded, wild and stuffy – we love it. At It’s The Ship happening November 4 to 7, you can party on a huge cruise ship à la Crazy Rich Asians – sans the torpedo, of course. Sashay and sway to the likes of Darude, Paul Van Dyk and Big Shaq and if you need to cool down, dip your feet in one of the three pools before dancing the rest of the night away.

Catch an outdoor film at the Holland V carpark

Catch an outdoor film at the Holland V carpark

For one night only on November 2, the Holland Village carpark transforms into an outdoor cinema where you can catch Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom under the stars. Besides swooning over Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, there's also an opening set by local band Shirlyn & The UnXpected plus an art market by The Local People to check out. You might not have the luxury of surround sound and air conditioning but you're free to chow down on a full picnic feast without the fear of being judged. Order a burger, fries and some wings via mcdelivery.com.sg – we can't think of a more satisfying movie accompaniment.

Shop for plants at the Singapore Botanic Gardens

Love the verdant landscape of the Singapore Botanic Gardens? Take a little piece of it home with you when you drop by the Market Square at Orchid Plaza on November 3 and 4. Because choosing the perfect orchid to match your living room decor can be tiring work, fuel up at the various pop-ups by restaurants located within the garden grounds.

Sweat it out at Beat X Studio

Sweat it out at Beat X Studio

Break the workday fatigue with a HIIT class at a gym or fitness studio near your office. If you're in the CBD, sneak away to Beat X Studio at Cecil Street. Deck in neon lights and equipped with personal trampolines, the studio feels more like a club and injects fun into your workout. Choose from four highly energetic fitness workouts that activate all muscle groups – rebounding, boxing, riding and hybrid training – and sweat it out in three different themed studios. After the workout, treat yourself to a McSpicy at a McDonald's restaurant or if you're still sore from the sesh, just order from the comfort of your desk via mcdelivery.com.sg.

Hunt down wildlife at Windsor Nature Park

No no, not that kind of hunting. The only shooting allowed here is the kind done by the camera. Sitting pretty off Venus Drive at the Upper Thomson area, Windsor Nature Park offers trails where you can birdwatch, walk on the restored boardwalks, check out a marsh habitat, discover freshwater streams and learn a thing or two about the tropical forests of Singapore. Stay in the shade on the Drongo Trail, which features a sub-canopy walk where visitors can catch a glimpse of the fauna that's found under the canopy level.
